Vaccinations

All cats, dogs and ferrets need vaccinations. Proper vaccination is a crucial step in preventing contagious, potentially life-threatening diseases. It is far easier to vaccinate to prevent diseases, such as distemper or parvovirus, than it is to try to treat the illnesses. As a matter of fact, several diseases that are preventable with proper vaccination cannot be successfully treated and can result in the death of your beloved pet. This is often the situation with diseases such as feline leukemia, distemper, rabies, and even many cases of parvovirus.

Not every pet needs every vaccination, but all need some vaccinations. Our veterinarians will examine your pet and make recommendations for the proper immunization protocol for your specific pet. This decision will be based on a variety of factors, including the pet’s age, breed, health, prior vaccinations, potential exposure to diseases, and lifestyle.
